Yep, everyone is hoarding right now...you have too with Obama doing what he is doing. I have about 1K in my stockpile and it would take 4 times the value to get me to sell it. Just can't risk running out....not worth it....Good luck though!! I feel your pain buddy.

Me too. Got a couple thousand 45 and similar for several other calibers. But unless someone here needs some for personal reloading, they stay right here.

We're mostly pretty self-reliant here. I like that.

Like , I feel your pain.

Uh, you are missing a ZERO at the end of that number

I haven't acquired much brass since Obama was elected (the first time), I've been working off brass acquired over the years, so I can't be blamed for the current shortage.

BTW I have over 1200 pieces of 223 brass

I've never owned a 223...
